it appears to also be left biased in general, mine are symmetric and
commutative whenever possible and things like its division arn't lazy
when they could be (since it computes the modulus at the same time).
Another difference is that I use capping behavior at zero rather than
producing an error. This has a variety of nice algebraic properties (in
addition to not bottoming out). unfortunately I can't find the paper
that I read about them at the moment.... hmm...
